But i jump back to my introduction and play a snipped of the Lovehoney advert, that really inspired this piece. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I first spoke to Venus O\u2019hara who is a professional sex toy tester and currently lives in spain, and produces a range of written and videoed reviews from home. I also spoke to a anonymous sex blogger and writer, who goes by the name of \u2018The Girl on the net\u2019, who also added some great points feminism. She suggested that i visited Sh! In Hoxton square as, it was the first ever sex shop opened by ladies for ladies. So i contacted the managing director and founder, Ky Hoyle, who spoke to me about a lot of misconceptions women have to face when it comes to sex toys. Finally the programme jumps to the end and shows me visiting the Lovehoney HQ in Bath. I spoke to Sammi Cole and Jessica Wilde, who both work and present on the company&#8217;s Youtube channel. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cue: Would you ever talk about your sex toys with your Nan?
